Learn to ride two turns at a time.

A great way to break in a new bike! Cornering Clinics are taught on a kart track and focus on the curve skills critical to safe riding. While participants ride at more real-world speeds, this is not a high speed, racing-oriented class. Participants provide their own motorcycle and protective gear.

When a rider fails to negotiate a turn, it’s usually not the first curve that gets them – it’s the second or third in a series of curves. Participants learn to ride “two turns at a time,” linking multiple curves and choosing the best lines. In 2.5 hours, our expert instructors will get you tuned up and back out on the road.

Cornering Clinics are recommended for endorsed riders ready to take their skills to the next level, but do not meet state mandatory training requirements for riders to earn a motorcycle license.

Scooters, trikes and reverse trikes are welcome. Group rates and private courses are available. A longer version of this course, Advanced Riding Techniques (ART), is also available. The course is also a great refresher for ART graduates.

Please note: Riding gear is required for all riding activities. Also, see Completion & Eligibility Requirements.
